prepare to be dissapointed

^ why they're a good band.

I don't think I've seen them mentioned yet, but "The James Gang" are really awesome too!

^ Yes, one of the greatest bands ever. That is when they have Joe Walsh. I have the [I]Yer[/I] album, and [I]Rides Again[/I], and those have to be two of the greatest CD's I own.


I don't recall anyone metioning The MC5.

look at yourself

those were all big hits, you may recgonize a few.

I like lots of classic rock from Zep to Chuck Berry, Deep Purple, Cream, Neil Young & Crazy Horse etc. I saw Neil Young last year..fück was that awesome! I saw Roxy Music in 2001, they were also great. I'm seeing KISS in May!!! I wanna see Deep Purple with Gillan (but no Ritchie) but I have no money! :angry: and it's like at a 500 seat INTIMATE VENUE playing all Machine Head and earlier stuff!!! I'm so disappointed, it was either KISS or DP, Kiss was cheaper and I like them just a little bit more. The Who are rumoured to come out to Aus, and AC/DC to tour again, so hopefully them too :)

How can anyone forget Golden Earring -- What a band!! I've been listening to a lot of psychadelic 60's Rock n Roll/'Acid' Punk on a Rhino Handmade compilation, 'Nuggets', dåmn that shît's good! :thumb:

in my school, nu-metal seems to be the fad going around, unfortunatly

Yea i like the old stuff, but its mainly stuff like Rainbow ect i'm not a big fan of Clapton or Led Zep.

Rush, Zepplin, Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, Dio, ELO, and I consider Genesis another rock band I really like

It's Acid Rock, and that is one hell of a box set. I recomend you buy [I]Trout Mask Replica[/I] by Captain Beefheart. If you like that stuff you'll think that album is amazing, which it is.

[QUOTE] The Who are rumoured to come out to Aus[/QUOTE]

They should be, because they're releasing a new album.

classic rock is rock music from 1968 to 1983. Atleast that's what my classic rock radio station defines it as.

^ No you fool.

Classic rock goes all the way back to 1961

[QUOTE]1968 to 1983[/QUOTE]

1968 is more like when Hard-Rock was introduced.

who played "classic rock" in '61?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]I've noticed kicks only liking popular and well known Classic Rock bands, like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ect...

They missout on some of the greatest lesser known Classic rock bands. Like The Byrds, or Buffalo Springfield, Big Brother and Holding Company, The Velvet Underground, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Van Morrison, ect. Most of those bands were pretty big in their day, but the kids these days aren't looking for those bands. Usually, they are looking for the heavier, or louder types, but that's only the kids I know.[/QUOTE]

Velvet Underground ... :cool:

Beatles, Stones, Rush, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Zeppelin (watching Zep DVD now :thumb: ).

Classic rock is awesome, but it isn't experiencing a revival. At least where I'm from, there has always been a large portion of classic rock kids. If anybody wants an awesome band, check out Stratovarius.
Just as a sidenote, everything that isn't rap or pop is awesome (with the exception of bands like Slipknot, whom do not have a genre). By the way, The Darkness is not very retro rock, and are not overly talented.

Ahem! your only missin out the start of Hendrix's career! for me, hard rock started with Hendrix, i hate Zep and consider them, along with the Beatles, to be the most overrated band in history. But thats just my opinion...

no such thing as overrated bands

im starting to get into zepplin and hendrix.
My dad has every one of each of their albums.

i love all those bands

I love how no1 these days knows any Deep Purple song other than Smoke on The Water. poor deprived children, not knowing Highway Star, Woman From Tokyo, Burn, Black Night, and Hush...

I just got Allman Brothers tickets for next Sunday at the Beacon Theatre in NYC...should be amazing. they are one of my all time favorite bands...

hah im listening to woman from tokyo right now

Well actually, hard rock started in the early 60's with The Troggs. So we're both wrong, but I corrected myself. And I didn't say '68 because of Zep, I hate them.

Edit: Well now that I think about it. Hard-Rock started out with The Kinks begining in 1964.

[QUOTE=ZEROthirtythree]who played "classic rock" in '61?[/QUOTE]

The Beach Boys, and there is actually some bands who are more Blues-Rock, but can still be classified as Classic Rock before '61. Like The Ventures or Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.

has sabbath been mentioned?

i think the master of classic rock is still bob dylan...no1 writes songs like bob dylan...no1 else sings like bob dylan either, which is a good thing. but he plays a mean guitar and harmonica and has written some of the most amazing music ever.
